Murray Gell-Mann, the preeminent architect of theoretical elementary-particle physics, died on 24 May 2019 in Santa Fe, New Mexico. He received the 1969 Nobel Prize “for his contributions and discoveries concerning the classification of elementary particles and their interactions.” His contributions to physics include many foundational ideas, such as the renormalization group, which is fundamental to quantum field theory and statistical mechanics.
